Open Kitchen MCR is a local social enterprise. It works with a huge range of food businesses to source food that will otherwise go to waste, as well as purchasing some ingredients, with a focus on local and sustainable sourcing.
From Oct 2018 – March 2020 it ran Manchester’s one and only waste food outside catering enterprise, providing high quality, super low carbon catering for corporate and private events, and using this “for profit work” to subsidise community support activities.
During the COVID-19 crisis it has switched to operate a “meals on wheels” service with Manchester City Council, producing over 2,000 nutritious “home-cooked” meals every day for a range of people requiring support.
